March Greetings from Chaplain Dale,
One of the great privileges I have as a Chaplain is meeting many of you in person or virtually. I see you in ways that many others do not. During my visits, I have noticed how hard so many of you work. I am reminded that you carry responsibilities at your jobs, deep concerns for your families, relationship challenges, financial pressures, and so much more. It can be overwhelming.
Today, I was reading Psalm 46 and found comfort. It reminded me—and I want to remind you—that God is our refuge and strength. Because of that truth, we don’t have to be afraid. He is with us.
One verse that blessed me the most was the exhortation to “Be still…” Think about that! In the midst of our busyness, we are told to STOP. Be still. Every day, let us take time to stop and simply be still. In that stillness, recognize God. Acknowledge His presence, His assistance, His blessings—and give thanks. It is energizing.
For me, this is a reminder of where my strength comes from. He is an ever-present help, even in times of trouble. He is a good God.
